Thank you ever so much, Simulation01, I needed someone to tell me this
and remind me.
I really, really needed it. Inspite of my strong Catholic background,
I am not of course immune to things that affect my all-too sensitive heart.
Not knowing exactly why, and being almost overcome with such deep sadness,
close to losing hope, is a terrible feeling,
so I truly thank you again. God bless...

So, any official news yet? Are we getting a new beta soon with some of the issues mentioned addressed (what I am hoping for)?

If that was the case - then why the long wait? If everything is A-OK with the current beta (which it isn´t!!), they could have declared it final (takes 5 minutes, I guess) weeks ago.

So I am really hoping that they are working on a new beta with more stuff fixed/balanced.

I'm hoping for that as well but no patch will ever be perfect so it's a tradeoff in the end.
